That's the way these things always work. Of course insiders know what is going on, including insiders who really are experts.
This is why in the end, you need outsiders to regulate the sport. Yes, they won't understand the sport. But it's extremely hard to find people who have extensive expertise in the sport who aren't also corrupted by their relationship to it.
The sport's power players bash on groups like WADA, but the reason such groups exist is because self-regulation leads to massive doping.
